No WARN/CRIT thresholds when using ifw-api

Icinga 2 Icinga for Windows
,
1

Hi guys,

we are using Icinga for Windows for a while now and works very well for us !
Lately I have enabled the communication between the Icinga master and the IfW clients directly via API calls.

What I really liked, was the performance, execution of checks was much faster.

But just today I realized, that I can no longer set warning/critical thresholds for checks in Icinga Director - they are ignored.

I am using for example the “Invoke-IcingaCheckCPU” command and have a service template where I set the thresholds. But I am not able to see this variables in the curl command and they just do not work.

I have switched back by no longer loading “ifw-api” in the “Powershell Base” command and thresholds are working again.

Can you tell me what I have missed?

Best regards
Volke

Thank you for your message!

Have you updated the Baskets shipped with the latest Icinga for Windows version?
You need to install the latest version, to ensure the API call is properly build for the REST-Call.

Once you do that and enable the feature again, the “inspect” on Icinga Web should provide you with the curl to the API, including the arguments.
